Marc and his team did an amazing job at our wedding on March 5. Marc went above and beyond to make my day special. He rented a bar from a third party and handled all the transport and fees for it in advance so we wouldn't have to worry. He even met us at the venue prior to the rehearsal dinner and helped our wedding coordinator figure out the table layout. His staff was so friendly and kind to everyone at the wedding and even helped clean up beyond their catering duties. We had the lemon garlic chicken with garlic mashed potatoes and grilled asparagus and I'm still hearing compliments about how good it all was, especially how juicy the chicken was. If we ever have another event, we now have a go to guy in Marc from Tatering Catering!

Luke had a prior engagement, but sent Roger to take care of my Halloween party. Roger was amazing. He was very friendly, polite and professional. He never stopped the whole evening and into the night. He asked very few questions and just went about his work quietly and professionally, but yet was still always friendly and extremely helpful anytime anyone was around him. The food he prepared not only tasted delicious, the presentation was great too! My guests went on and on about how great the food was and how nice Roger was, even asking me for Roger and LK Culinary's information. He even stepped in to mind the bar while my bartender stepped away for a moment. When he left, my kitchen and everything looked like he had never even been there. I would highly recommend Roger and LK Culinary for your catering needs, and I can't wait to plan another party so I can have Roger over once again!

Chef Cassy did a wonderful job catering my 40th birthday celebration. My guests are still commenting on the honey pecan wings! She and her staff were very professional. I had no worries once she arrived. Thank you Cassy!

I sent out a request for catering proposals on the Sunday night before my Saturday event which is very short notice to say the least. Meat & Greet BBQ Catering was one of three proposals received within 30 minutes and we had everything finalized by 1pm the next day. I was extremely pleased with Jim Carroll's response time and professionalism with the catering agreement and invoicing. I had drop-off catering but he went above & beyond on the delivery end as well. He cut the brisket upon arrival to insure it was the juiciest when served. The food and service were absolutely outstanding!! Jim is at the top of my list for future events.

I would highly recommend Fancy's Personal Chef Services. Within one week, we were able to connect, draw up a menu (Fancy is very accommodating) and solidify a very fair price. My group of guys raved about the Omelet Bar and Sweet Potato Hash that Fancy prepared at our office. Huge success all around! Would definitely use Fancy again for private catering! Thank you Fancy!

Everything was delicious, and she was SO easy to work with. I had 20 relatives that I had to host for dinner only 3 weeks after back surgery, and it all went off without a hitch. I highly recommend her services to those looking for a great caterer! Brava!

We were referred to The Date catering services from a family friend for our companies 20 Year Anniversary. Ms. Hampton was professional and prompt from our initial meeting up until the event. The food...it was absolutely amazing! We have a mix crowd of guest and we were applauded on how divine the food tasted. Our event was a success because of The Date. I would recommend them to anyone because once you tasted their food your taste buds will never be the same again. Thank you for everything, Carol!

Q & A

Catering prices depend mainly on how fancy you want the food and service to be and how many guests you’ll have. When you’re first looking to hire a caterer for your event, consider how many guests you’ll have and your total food and drink budget. The national average for event catering is $340, but catering prices can range into the thousands depending on your menu, guest count, and service.

Event catering is a broad term that covers everything from fully prepared, ready-to-eat food that the hosts plate and serve themselves to full-service, multicourse meals, including rental of linens, glassware and other items, with service staff organized by the catering company. Usually a caterer will determine cost based on the type of event you’re having, how many guests will attend, the level of service you desire, and what type of menu you’d like to have. For example, if you have a set catering budget, say $1,500, and you plan to have 50 people attend, that means you have $30 per person for food. If you have the same budget with 100 people, you have $15 per person for food. In this way, the number of people you want to attend your event and the level of food you want to serve them determines how much catering will cost.

Catering prices can range from about $10 per guest on the low end to $150 or more per person on the high end. Catering costs represent the quality of food, presentation, variety, ingredients and service. But catering prices are more than the cost to cook the food that will be at your party; they also include the cost for the company to do business. Here is a simple breakdown of catering prices:

Menu: The food you serve your guests will directly affect the price per person. Organic ingredients, complex recipes, elaborate presentations, or high-ticket items like lobster or filet mignon all add to the cost.

Service: Buffet, family style, plated dinners — how you serve the food affects the cost per person. For example, a true plated meal can cost about twice the price of a staff-assisted buffet because of staffing costs. Hiring waiters, bartenders and cleanup crew will all be calculated into the per-person catering price.

Drinks: Providing beverages and alcoholic drinks for guests greatly increases your catering budget. Hosting an open bar can cost as much per person as the meal.

Rentals: Seating, plates, glassware, etc., will all have an effect on the cost per person for catering. For example, a plastic conference table that seats 10 costs about $6 to rent on average, while a wooden farmhouse table is about $80 to rent on average.

Business costs: Any catering cost will also include the cost for the company to do business such as insurance, employee wages, commercial kitchen space and more.
